Local authorities are still looking for the person or persons responsible for a May 2013 shooting that left a 46-year-old Bartlesville man dead.

Douglas Wayne Diaz was pronounced dead after being shot while working on a car in his front yard in northwest Bartlesville on May 15.

"We’re still working on the case," Bartlesville Police Department investigator Anthony Lein told the Examiner-Enterprise this week.

"We feel like there is someone out there that didn’t have anything to do with the incident but knows something … I would encourage them to come talk to us."

Lein declined to comment further on the case and did not discuss possible leads.

At the time of the shooting, BPD officials said that at around 10:29 p.m. that day, officers responded to a "call of possible gun shots being fired in the area of Adeline and Margarite streets."

Officers arrived to discover that a man had been shot while working on his car in the 100 block of Northwest Margarite. Fire and ambulance responded but the victim died at the scene, police officials said at the time.

Shortly after Diaz was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound, the case was designated as a homicide.

Detectives say they worked throughout the day and night in the days that followed but have made no arrests in the case.

Lein encourages anyone with information about the incident to contact the BPD Detective Division at 918-338-4015 or, if a person wishes to remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers at 918-336-CLUE (2583). CrimeStoppers offers up to a $1,000 reward based on the crime and whether the information leads to an arrest.
